Amos 2:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 2:6

Judgment on Judah

4 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aJudah, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
^bBecause they have despised the law of the Lord,
And have not kept His commandments.
^cTheir lies lead them astray,
Lies ^dwhich their fathers followed.

5 ^aBut I will send a fire upon Judah,
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”

Judgment on Israel

6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aIsrael, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because ^bthey sell the righteous for silver,
And the ^cpoor for a pair of sandals.

7 They¹ pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor,
And ^apervert the way of the humble.
^bA man and his father go in to the same girl,
^cTo defile My holy name.

8 They lie down ^aby every altar on clothes ^btaken in pledge,
And drink the wine of¹ the condemned in the house of their god.

9 “Yet it was I who destroyed the ^aAmorite before them,
Whose height was like the ^bheight of the cedars,
And he was as strong as the oaks;
Yet I ^cdestroyed his fruit above
And his roots beneath.
